(I hope the picture below comes out in this post. But if not it is
attached.)
Jim "And all those who are decendants of European immigrants to the United
States or are themselves immigrants from Europe to the United States are
ILLEGAL unless they have premission (Written Premission) from American Indians
(Indigenous People) and unless they carry with them at all times such Written
Permission to enter America from American Indians Indigenous people. But since
most (and/or many) of the immigrants to the United States from Mexico and
Central and South America have Indian (Indigenous People) blood then they are
legal immigrants to the United States." D.

Mark Sherman reports:
"The Supreme Court has sustained Arizona's law that penalizes businesses for
hiring workers who are in the United States illegally, rejecting arguments that
states have no role in immigration matters.
"By a 5-3 vote, the court said Thursday that federal immigration law gives
states the authority to impose sanctions on employers who hire unauthorized
workers.
"The decision upholding the validity of the 2007 law comes as the state is
appealing a ruling that blocked key components of a second, more controversial
Arizona immigration enforcement law. Thursday's decision applies only to
business licenses and does not signal how the high court might rule if the
other law comes before it.
"Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a majority made up of
Republican-appointed justices, said the Arizona's employer sanctions law 'falls
well within the confines of the authority Congress chose to leave to the
states.'
"Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, all
Democratic appointees, dissented. The fourth Democratic appointee, Justice
Elena Kagan, did not participate in the case because she worked on it while
serving as President Barack Obama's solicitor general
"Breyer said the Arizona law upsets a balance in federal law between dissuading
employers from hiring illegal workers and ensuring that people are not
discriminated against because they may speak with an accent or look like they
might be immigrants.
"Employers 'will hesitate to hire those they fear will turn out to lack the
right to work in the United States,' he said.
"Business interests and civil liberties groups challenged the law, backed by
the Obama administration."

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Law Penalizing Businesses For Hiring Illegal
Immigrants
By MARK SHERMAN 05/26/11 10:54 AM ET AP
WASHINGTON -- The measure was signed into law in 2007 by Democrat Janet
Napolitano, then the governor of Arizona and now the administration's Homeland
Security secretary.
The employer sanctions law has been only infrequently used. It was intended to
diminish Arizona's role as the nation's hub for immigrant smuggling by
requiring employers to verify the eligibility of new workers through a federal
database. Employers found to have violated the law can have their business
licenses suspended or revoked.
Lower courts, including the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals, previously upheld the law.
The case is Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting, 09-115.
